Fount II, textured

This piece was created by taking the "Fount II" drawing and overlaying it onto a scan of stained and tinted handmade watercolour paper, (the stained paper is predominantly green(ish)) I then applied various layer filters in Photoshop, to revise and modify the colour.

I approach this stage as just "fun", as it involves experimenting with combinations of filters to produce interesting effects, colours and textures... the results are very often startling and somewhat unexpected.

I save files as I'm going along as interesting things pop up - to sort through later� and with this drawing, found myself with 30 files, all of them rather interesting.

I started off in Fine Art by doing a two year Foundation course when I was sixteen, at Wakefield School of Art – followed by BA sculpture at St Martins in London…unfortunately (but maybe not?), I was expelled from St Martins after one year, and (rather disillusioned)… transferred to Camberwell School of Art to do a degree in Graphics.

Have been doing graphic design for a while now but have only recently started seriously scribbling and painting again… mainly as a distraction and cathartic process when my parents died.

Currently, with my drawing Im most interested in capturing the energy recorded in making marks, and exploring the interaction of light and shade… and my paintings at the moment are explorations into texture, colour and how these can effect our mood.
